Herb & Dorothy

Do you have to be a Medici or a Rockefeller to collect art? Not according to Herbert and Dorothy Vogel. This documentary film tells the extraordinary story of Herb, a postal clerk, and Dorothy, a librarian – an ordinary couple of modest means who managed to build one of the most important contemporary art collections in history.

Although quite charming, the cynic in me is amazed by the fact that after all this time visiting some of the world’s most famous and inflential art galleries, they still buy crap.
